Secure, govern, and simplify software licensing for government networks with Sophos Xstream Protection Renewal. This 61-month Gov renewal delivers continuous security updates, comprehensive threat protection, and procurement-friendly pricing designed to align with government procurement processes. By renewing your Xstream Protection under Gov terms, you ensure uninterrupted defense against evolving cyber threats across endpoints, networks, and cloud services while maintaining compliance and budget predictability. Built on Sophos Xstream architecture, this renewal keeps your security posture strong, your devices protected, and your operations compliant—without the disruptions that can come from short-term licenses or abrupt terminations. Government organizations demand reliability, traceability, and transparent pricing, and this renewal is designed to meet those needs while providing the scalability to grow with your agency’s security program over the next five years and beyond.

• 61-month term and renewal for long-range protection and budgeting predictability. This Gov renewal extends protection across your environment for nearly five years, reducing license renewal churn and ensuring that critical security controls remain active without gaps. With ongoing validation as part of the renewal process, you gain confidence that your security controls, threat intelligence feeds, and policy enforcement stay current, mitigating the risk of lapse-related exposure. The extended term also supports steady security planning, allowing you to forecast expenditures, align with fiscal cycles, and avoid abrupt mid-cycle procurement changes. In practice, this means fewer license interruptions and a steadier, more resilient security baseline across your government network.
• Government pricing tailored to public-sector procurement. This renewal is designed to align with government acquisition workflows, including budgetary cycles, contract vehicles, and approval processes. Government pricing helps simplify purchase authorization, reduces back-and-forth negotiations, and supports transparent cost management. With a Gov-focused licensing structure, agencies can allocate funds more efficiently, track license utilization, and maintain auditable records that ease compliance reporting. The result is a smoother path from request to renewal, enabling IT and procurement teams to operate in step with governance policies while preserving the robust security posture Sophos provides.
• Powerful security delivered by Xstream Architecture. Sophos Xstream Protection leverages the Xstream architecture to deliver high-performance threat prevention across on-premises and cloud environments. Expect improved throughput, lower latency, and optimized resource usage as security processing is streamlined for endpoint, network, and cloud workloads. The integration of prevention, detection, and response capabilities reduces the need for multiple separate tools, delivering a unified defense that adapts to hybrid and distributed environments. The result is stronger security without sacrificing network performance or user experience, helping agencies protect sensitive data and maintain operational continuity even during peak demand periods.
• Centralized management and policy consistency. This renewal supports centralized control through Sophos Central, enabling unified policy creation, deployment, and monitoring across devices, endpoints, and network appliances. With a single pane of glass for visibility, security teams can enforce uniform policies, push updates, and track compliance in near real-time. Centralized management also simplifies incident response, threat hunting, and reporting, ensuring that your agency can demonstrate a clear, auditable security posture to stakeholders and oversight authorities. In practice, you’ll benefit from consistent security controls across disparate locations and devices, reducing the complexity and risk that come with managing a large, distributed workforce.
• Compliance-ready features, government support, and ongoing updates. The Gov renewal emphasizes compliance and support tailored to public-sector needs, including access to current threat intelligence, security content updates, and government-grade support options. You’ll gain ongoing documentation, event logs, and audit-ready reports to facilitate regulatory reviews and internal governance. With government-focused service levels, dedicated escalation paths, and clear license terms, agencies can rely on timely assistance and predictable renewal terms that align with compliance requirements and oversight expectations.
